WARNING
Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may result in death or
serious injury.
■Before driving
●Make sure that the trunk lid is fully
closed. If the trunk lid is not fully
closed, it may open unexpectedly
while driving and hit near-by objects or
luggage in the trun k may be thrown
out, causing an accident.
●Do not allow children to play in the
trunk.
If a child is accidentally locked in the
trunk, they could suffer from heat
exhaustion, suffocation or other inju-
ries.
●Do not allow a child to open or close
the trunk lid.
Doing so may cause the trunk lid to
open unexpectedly, or cause the
child’s hands, head , or neck to be
caught by the closing trunk lid.
■Important points while driving
Never let anyone sit in the trunk. In the
event of sudden braking or a collision,
they are susceptible to death or serious
injury.
■Using the trunk
Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may cause parts of the
body to be caught, resulting in serious
injury.
●Remove any heavy loads, such as snow
and ice, from the trunk lid before
opening it. Failure to do so may cause
the trunk lid to suddenly shut again
after it is opened.
●When opening or closing the trunk lid,
thoroughly check to make sure the
surrounding area is safe.
●If anyone is in the vicinity, make sure
they are safe and let them know that
the trunk is about to open or close.
●Use caution when opening or closing
the trunk lid in wind y weather as it may
move abruptly in strong wind.
●The trunk lid may suddenly shut if it is
not opened fully. It is more difficult to
open or close the trunk lid on an
incline than on a level surface, so
beware of the trunk lid unexpectedly
opening or closing by itself. Make sure
that the trunk lid is fully open and
secure before using the trunk.
●When closing the trunk lid, take extra
care to prevent your fingers etc. from
being caught.
●When closing the trunk lid, make sure
to press it lightly on its outer surface. If
the trunk handle is used to fully close
the trunk lid, it may result in hands or
arms being caught.
●Do not attach any accessories other
than genuine Lexus parts to the trunk
lid. Such additional weight on the trunk
lid may cause the lid to suddenly shut
again after it is opened.

are changed.
●Do not leave the electronic key on top of
the instrument panel or near the door
pockets when exiting the vehicle.
Depending on the ra dio wave reception conditions, it may be detected by the
antenna outside the cabin and the doors
will become lockable from the outside,
possibly trapping the electronic key

amount of water splashes on the door
handle, such as in the rain or in a car
wash, when the electronic key is within
the effective range. (The doors will auto-
matically be locked after approximately
30 seconds if the doors are not opened
and closed.)
●If the wireless remote control is used to
lock the doors when the electronic key is
near the vehicle, there is a possibility that
the door may not be unlocked by the
entry function. (Use the wireless remote
control to unlock the doors.)
●Touching the door lock or unlock sensor
while wearing gloves may prevent lock or
unlock operation.
●When the lock operation is performed
using the lock sensor, recognition signals
will be shown up to two consecutive
times. After this, no recognition signals
will be given.

electronic key is within the effective
range, the door may lock and unlock
repeatedly. In this ca se, follow the follow-
ing correction procedures to wash the
vehicle:
• Place the electronic key in a location 6 ft. (2 m) or more away from the vehicle.
(Take care to ensure that the key is not
stolen.)

it comes into contact with ice, snow, mud,
etc. Clean the lock sensor and attempt to
operate it again, or use the lock sensor on
the lower part of the door handle.
●A sudden handle operation or a handle
operation immediately after entering the
effective range may prevent the doors
from being unlocked. Touch the door

not be detected correctly and the system
may not operate properly. (The alarm may
go off accidentally, or the door lock pre-
vention function may not operate.)
●Do not leave the electronic key inside the
luggage compartment.
The key confinement prevention function
may not operate, depending on the loca-
tion of the key (close to a spare tire, the
inside edge of the luggage compart-
ment), conditions (i nside a metal bag,
